Bonnie G. Bernstein

The title of this review says it all. As a client for several years, I have had Ms. Bernstein handle a very contentious divorce, including post divorce problems; family matters and personal matters. I vetted several lawyers before choosing Ms. Bernstein (hereafter called Bonnie as preferred), some ev...en charging up to $300 for consultations, which was at no cost with Bonnie. Working in Manhattan at the time made lawyers there easily accessible, but the vetting process and a "gut feeling" led me to choose Bonnie. I have not been disappointed. The trust we built together by excellent communication, with Bonnie's innate reading of my Type A personality keeping me calm and in check made our professional relationship so much more personal and friendly. As a professional person myself, I have a good deal of knowledge. She could tell me to stop and think. Inform me that my opinion may not be the proper legal way to proceed. Bonnie was always usually right. No one wants my opinion any longer, they ask "What does Ms. Bernstein think?" I have recommended Bonnie to the only one friend seeking divorce, but to many others who need almost any legal services. I am not one of those gushing reviewers. But when AVVO wanted me to rate Ms. Bernstein, I was happy to respond. I believe it was the movie "Philadelphia" that Tom Hanks quotes the joke "What Do You Call 100 Lawyers At The Bottom Of The Ocean? A Good Start." I heartily concur! Bonnie G. Bernstein is the only lawyer I would dive to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve!
